Business Connector deployment in Kubernetes with Helm Charts
The Business Connector is a component that connects your business applications to the Platform. It is a lightweight, stateless, and horizontally scalable service that is responsible for handling the communication between your business applications and the Platform.
This guide will walk you through deploying the Business Connector in a Kubernetes cluster using Helm charts.
Customise the Helm chart
The Helm chart is a collection of Kubernetes manifest files that define the resources needed to deploy the Business Studio in a Kubernetes cluster.
Helm chart definitions are available from One37's private Helm Chart registry, which you can access by logging in to the provided image registry host.
Credentials for the image registry host will be provided to you by One37.
You WILL need to download the Helm chart to a working folder and customise the values.yml file to suit your environment.
docker login [provided-image-registryhost]
# Enter your credentials when prompted
helm pull one37id/one37id-bc
This will download the Helm chart to your local machine.
You can then extract the contents and customise the values.yml file.
The following is a sample values.yml file highlighting the key parameters you will need to customise.
tipOther parameters, hidden in this sample, are present in the values.yml file and can be left as default or customised as needed.
Deploy the Business Connector
Once you have customised the values.yml file, you can deploy the Business Connector using the Helm chart.
helm upgrade --install one37id-bc one37id/one37id-bc -f values.yml
This command will deploy the Business Connector in your Kubernetes cluster using the customised values.
Next Steps
After you have successfully deployed and started the application, you can proceed to Workflow Engine Setup.
